Re: [libvirt] [Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-4.1] hw/arm/nseries: Deprecate the n800 and n810 machines

These machines depend on the deprecated bluetooth subsystem. In case we finally decide to remove the bluetooth subsystem, we likely need to remove the n800 and n810 machines, too, so mark them now as deprecated.
